X-Midas Interoperability
Overview
Interoperability Options
|
|
- Interoperability options:
XBC |
Use X-Midas primitives inside NeXtMidas. |
NeXtOpt |
Use NeXtMidas as an X-Midas option tree. |
- When to use which option:
XBC |
Used when a NeXtMidas application needs to use an existing
X-Midas primitive. |
NeXtOpt |
Used when an X-Midas application needs to use NeXtMidas
functionality. |
- Important note:
- The "guest" application assumes many of the traits of the host shell.
- For XBC this means that the X-Midas primitive has access to NeXtMidas pipes,
tables, files (including URLs), etc.
(This provides additional capabilities to an X-Midas primitive.)
- For NeXtOpt this means that the NeXtMidas primitive is restricted to using numbered
AUXs, numbered IDs, static X-Midas pipes, shared global-section messages,
etc. (This limits the normal NeXtMidas capabilities.)
